Description

The editor complains that node isn't configured correctly - but it works well.

I had a similar problem after NodeRed Version 3.1.1. with the switch node.

Current version of NodeRed - with this error: 3.1.3
Current verson of the email node is: 2.1.0

Research direction

Start by reproducing the editor warning with Node-RED 3.1.3 and email node 2.1.0, comparing the node's configured behavior with the editor's validation result. Trace the email node's editor entry point and configuration checks. Done means a working email node is no longer reported as misconfigured, with the regression covered by an appropriate test if one exists.
